This, coupled with the update to the Death Denied Tactic has made marines much, much better, and likely top tier in the hands of an experienced player. The Elites supplement gave marines a shot in the arm with a large number of new units and commanders added and made both all Primaris Kill Teams and Veteran teams more practical (and streamlining their confusing datasheets). This is combined with the changes to Ultra Close Confines rules in Pariah Nexus which heavily benefit small model count teams and prevent some of the tactics involving door blocking and corridor blocking (the Hodor style of play) shutting down small and elite kill teams. With the changes in Pariah Nexus, marines get a lot better, and I think we’ll be seeing them placing higher in events in general, rather than just in the hands of top tier players. GW have reached new levels in trolling Dark Angels players by giving them what they said they wanted.Ĭompetitive marine Kill Teams have struggled a lot, and placing high in events has relied on a) very good players b) thinking of a good gimmick for their lists where all the marine’s strengths join up with c) some good luck. People who’ve been collecting Dark Angels since they had good paint schemes in Rogue Trader are getting called meta chasers. Remember how Dark Angels, who sucked from 4 th to 8 th edition, had players still loyally stick with them all through the dark times? Now GW have, to mess with Dark Angels players once more, made them really good in 9 th. A lot of players have stuck with them in Kill Team despite them being mediocre in original Kill Team and struggling a lot in Arena. They are the most common entry point into the hobby. Space Marines are the most popular army in 40k. In today’s article I’ll talk about using building, playing, and going up against Space Marines competitively in Kill Team. We’ve put it off for long enough with our discussions of Eldar and Chaos Space Marines and Custodes and Imperial Guard. They’ve been showing up as models for 30 years, they’ve had good video games, dozens of books and they’re even sneaking into fantasy as Sigmarines.

There’s a lot to talk about, so let’s dive in.Ĭobalt Scions Intercessors. So it was time to completely rewrite everything. Marines have the benefit of being the Kill Team faction with the most support and with the new rules in Pariah Nexus the faction has completely changed. NOTE: You will need a copy of the Kill Team Core Book in order to use the contents of this book.It’s been almost a year and a half since our last Space Marines tactics article for Kill Team and thanks to Pariah Nexus, quite a bit has changed. The full list of factions available in this book is as follows: A stunning collection of model photography and artwork featuring kill teams and their operatives Details about fire teams, the small groups of operatives that make up a full-size kill team Datacards, Ploys, and equipment for 19 factions ranging from Adeptus Astartes to Genestealer Cults From daring Tempestus Scions to disciplined T’au Hunter Cadres, armies from across the galaxy can now put forward their best and brightest to undertake dangerous missions behind enemy lines. Kill Team: Compendium is the definitive 168-page resource for bringing 19 different factions into the world of tabletop skirmish combat, featuring almost every major faction from Warhammer 40,000. While these impromptu operatives are often given little more than a mission description and a firm pat on the back, the harsh conditions of a killzone quickly turn them into hardened veterans in their own right.
